Apologies and thanks...
So: Since CVS is evidently running as Guest (there are no entries in the
event log to contradict this) and the user account specified in
CVSROOT/passwd is also Guest, how can it be that CVS is able to modify
read-only admin files whose ownership is Administrator:Administrators? For
example, the `modules' file has the properties:
-r--r--r-- 1 Administ Administ 1170 Jan 30 10:29 modules
After I check it out, modify it, then commit it:
-r--r--r-- 1 Guest Administ 1186 Jan 30 12:51 modules
Am I missing something really obvious? The fact that the group remains
`Administrators' rings alarm bells. I'm just trying to get a better
understanding of what's going on here as I only have a rudimentary knowledge
of Win2K and Unix file permissions.
Cheers,
Phil
